It offers an opportunity to renew prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span>“It’s important . . . for young people to hear the call of God in their life,” says Archbishop Robert Carlson, chairman of the Bishops’ Committee on Clergy Consecrated Life and Vocations. “And it’s necessary, we know, that they would have a supportive, very encouraging environment so that they have the opportunity to hear God’s call, and also to respond.”</span></p>
